TO DECIDE TITLES
CHICAGO., April 5.—College swimmers are favored in the National A. A. U. swimming championships which open here today. Wallace O’Connor of Stanford University is the star from the Pacific Coast. He recenty won the collegiate swims at Annapolis.
''pO Captain Bud Houser goes A the highest tribute that could ever be accorded a Southern California athlete for his remarkable performances in his three years of varsity competition which culminated in the breaking of a world’s mark, last Saturday at Palo Alto. Tossing the discus 158 feet 1% inches, Houser put the platter out more than seven inches farther than any human being had ever tossed it before. After three years of varsity competition, Houser had his ambition realized, that of winning from both California and Stanford and of breaking & world s record.
And in what a wonderful manner the Trojan captain turned tho victories. The California meet is i*ow history, but the Stanford meet with all Its sensational upsets, culminating in a close score made K a banner day for “Bud.”
But “Bud" was not the only Happy party in Palo Alto Saturday night. There was that grand old man of the track and field, Coach Dean Cromwell, who was showered with congratulations from all parts of the country, and then there was the small band of Trojan athletes that made the result possible.
It might be well to mention here of the keen sportsmanship shown by Coach Dick Templeton of Stanford after his team had been defeated. In a close meet such as Saturday’s it is extremely difficult to take defeat in a cheerful manner, but Templeton and hie men did it and did it well.

The victory can be largely attributed to that now famous Trojan fighting spirit. It was instilled into Captain "Bud" Houser so thoroughly that he awaited patiently three years to have it realized. The cry of the squad now is “On to the Second /. C. Four-A. Championship /”

ROAD SHOW TRY-OUTS
THIS WEEK
Grant La Monte Announces Tryouts Extend Till Friday.
SUBLIME TO FOOLISH
Feature Act and Grand Finale Are High Lights of Show.
Vacation played havoc with the plans of one Grant La Monte, Charge de Affairs of the Senior Road Show, when it lured many potential entertainers homeward Friday, March 26, thus affecting the quantity of acts making their appearance for the final tryouts that afternoon. Hence the need for one more final tryout, which, according to La Monte, will extend until Friday of this weeek.
From the sublime to the foolish is the slogan of the committee, who demand more comedy, although there is still room on the program for musical and other acts. A feature act has been worked up which will not be exposed until the night of the play, is the announcement of the committee, who further add that it will contain original songs and plot, which will be offered in the nature of a surprise.
A Grand Finale, which will include all those participating in the previous acts, has been decided upon by La Monte, and, judging from past performances, he will put on a closing act that will be worth the price of admission alone. Although everything is in the air as yet, many in the cast of the recent Extravaganza will find a place in the Senior show, according to rumor.
The schedule for the daily tryouts is, today, 4 o’clock: Wednesday, 1:30; Thursday, 4; Friday, 1:30, and will take place in Bovard Auditorium.
GREEK RATING IS ANNOUNCED
Alpha Epsilon Phi Ranks First As Fraternity Scholarship is Announced.
Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority of the University of Southern California took first place in the scholastic ratings among the Pan-Hellenic houses, with the girls of the Alpha Delta Pi house close behind with second place. Theta Sigma Nu finished first amongst the Greek boys and were closely followed by Alpha Sigma Delta, who lost their foot hold on first place which they have held until this year.
Each year the various fraternities and sororities of the university change their scholarship ratings as often as it rains in the sunny South. Phi Beta Delta, which has been up among the leaders in previous years, dropped from 11th to 26th place. They were accompanied by many other fraternities and sororities on the trip as will be noticed by the following names which appear in numerical order:
Alpha Epsilon Phi, Alpha Delta Pi, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Chi Omega, Delta Delta, Alpha Gamma Delta, Theta Sigma Nu, Pi Beta Phi, Delta Gamma, Iota Sigma Theta, Kappa Delta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Phi Mu, Theta Omicron, Zeta Tau Alpha, Alpha Sigma Delta, Delta Phi Delta, Delta Mu Phi, Kappa Sigma.

’ Tallman and Berger spoke against the Albany College men in a non-decision ; debate on the question. “Resolved.

The only decision debate of the tour I was won by Southern California with a 2-1 score on April 2nd in Tacoma, Washington, when the same question was debated with tbe College of Puget Sound. This contest proved very close and one of the njost interesting of the entire season. The College of Puget Sound has defeated the strong University of Washington group several times in the past season.
The radio was used Saturday night when Tallman and Berger broadcast with the University of Oregon over KGW in Portland, upholding the negative of the question “Resolved, That war should be decided by a referendum to the people except in case of internal invasion or rebellion.”
Coach Allan Nichols left the team on Friday to preside at the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Forensic League at Pullman, Washington.
Two interesting debates will be contested this week, when Tallman and Berger will take the negative of the war question against Idaho in Moscow' Thursday night, and the affirmative of the child labor question with the University of Gonzaga in Spokane. Wash-i ington. on Saturday night.
Tallman will also represent South-{ em California Friday night in the Pa-! cific Coast Extemporaneous Contest on the general question, “The concentration of power in the Federal government vs. the distribution of powers among the several states.”

Coach Dean Cromwell’s track team will retain its 67 1-2 to 63 1-2 victory over Stanford in actual points, as well as in accomplishments. The Palo Alto university has refused to accept the offer of President R. B. von Klein-S$iid of the University of Southern California to accept the three points mfuie by Ralph Shawhan, alleged ineligible miler for the Trojans. By the refusal of the northern institution to alter the placing of the men and the consequent changing of the final score, the 671-2 to 63 1-2 verdict remains.
Shawhan’s eligibility was questioned at 10:30 the morning of the meet. The protest came as a complete shock to the Trojans and well nigh disrupted. the moral of the entire team. Gwynn Wilson and Bill Hunter, respectively graduate manager and athletic director of S. C., immediately set about to investigate the charges, and found evidence that seemed to substantiate the claims. Consequently they put it up to the Stanford faculty representatives as to whether Shaw* tn should be allowed to run or r'^re were no Trojan faculty members present.

DEBATORS WIN LEAGUE TITLE
Arizona Debate Gives Trojans Championship of Southwest Debating League.
By defeating the University of Arizona 3 to 0 in a debate held at the regular Friday chapel, S. C. now holds the 1926 championship of the Pacific Southwest Debating League. New Mexico, the other member of the league, was defeated by the Trojan debaters more than a month ago, when the S. C. representatives won by a 3 to 0 vote.
The afflrmative of the proposition, “Resolved, That war should' be declared by a vote of the people except in cases of invasion or rebellion,” was upheld by William Berger and Leland Tallman of S. C. The negative was maintained by Wiley Peterson and George Gentry of Arizona.
This debate, as tfie first speaker said, was rather unique in that it was attended by a large audience, the contest being held before the student assembly. The speeches were all well worked out, the only thing marring the contest being that those in the back of the house heard the visiting speakers with difficulty.
Bill Berger, the opening speaker for S. C., made a very able presentation. Tallman, the second affirmative speaker, made an exceptionally clever speech and was awarded best speaker. The three judges, Goodwin Knight. Gurney Newlin and Charles Sunderland ,all concurred in their decision, giving it to S. C.. making the eleventh straight victory for the local squad.
Coach Howard Jones Leaves For Honeymoon in North
Coach Howard Jones, Trojan football mentor, was married last Wednesday evening to Jane Dean Ridley, daughter of Mrs. Carrie L. Dean of Lankershim.

Fighting with an indomitable spirit that denies defeat and typifying the valor of the warriors of ancient Troy, Coach Cromwell’s modern Trojans soared to heights last Saturday and snatched victory on track and field from the Cardinal hosts at Palo Alto, 67 1-2 to 63 1-2. It was a meet in which the fighting heart of the Trojans met the gruelling teat and through which the Trojan men, led by Captain Bud Houser, now new world’s discus record holder, passed victorious by the small margin of four points.
It was indeed fitting that this great victory should also prove to be a supreme moment for the fighting Trojan captain. Bud Houser, competing for his Alma Mater the last time against the Northern University, was conscious of his responsibility as captain and was inspired by a heart to heart talk with his coach and the precarious position of his teammates. Captain Houser came through with a mighty heave in the discus and a new world’s record. It was an achievement worthy of a captain, worthy of Bud Houser. The toss measured 158 feet 1 3-4 inches, clipping the mark of Bud’s former rival from Satnford, Glenn Hartranft. “Tiny” Hartranft, the former record holder, was officiating and measured the Trojan captain s (Continued on Page Two)
